At Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and can't wait to leave this cold weather. I made it safely to the airport from my hotel via bus, which was super easy and comparatively easier than taking the train to Amsterdam Central Station and the tram. I am looking forward to the sunshine in Thailand. I'll be stopping over in Moscow and wish I had a 2 day layover so I can check out the city. Regardless, I have a 12 hour 30 minute flight ahead of me :( Time to catch up on sleep and read the Hunger Games! x PS. The airport is funny. You do your security checks in front of your gate rather than the entrance to all gates.... read more

I am so so happy I am in Chichester. There is something about this place that makes me feel like I'm home again. I have spent many days and many nights in Chi, and whenever I am back in this town, I can't help but smile. =) I have many friends here, many of whom I consider my second family. I am currently staying with my friend Jody and her roommate Giles (both who are awesome). I took the train from London and made my way to Chichester, which brought back many memories of what I used to do often back when I was living in the UK. She picked me up and we headed straight to the Chichester canal. I had no idea a canal existed in this town! It was quite nice as the ... read more

It's 1am and I'm eating a midnight snack courtesy of Paul's (a yummy sandwich), Walker's Thai Sweet Chilli Potato Chips (my absolute fav flavor) and decaf coffee on my nice double bed in my nice hotel in the nice area of south kensington in central london. Its been a long day of traveling and I couldn't believe I made it to London! Why? So here goes the story... This morning, I took the train from Paris to London via Eurostar. I had booked this ticket a month prior for a really good price of $133, but the only catch was that it was non-refundable/transferable. So what? It's not like I would miss another train from Paris to London like I did previously. Little did I know....it would happen again! I told Aure that my train was ... read more

Bonjour everyone! I made it safely to France after a long, long flight! The lovely Dawnabelle took me to LAX after I had my yummy last supper of belgian waffles. I didn't sleep at all on the plane and sat next to some really cool people along the way: one who was an older lady who had traveled a bit when she was younger and a french student who was doing an internship in Richmond, VA as well as playing soccer. Aurelie picked me up and we went straight to eat some pho! It was yummy, although they use different type of noodles. And of course, we went to say hello to her mom and dad and went to IKEA! Haha...had to pick up some stuff for the wedding tomorrow! I can't wait! Tomorrow and Sunday ... read more
